We ordered spaghetti bolognese and chicken Mona Lisa. Both were superb. Our food was delicious, The atmosphere was great. The service was good. I see why people enjoy this place. We will definitely be back. The owner/chef cares deeply about the food, ambiance, and service and all was excellent. Thank you for a delicious and wonderful experience dining here.
Great Italian food, the atmosphere is very warm and friendly, the staff are very attentive, smiling and polite. It was first time I went last night and we got free Tiramisu 😋
Came here for my sisters birthday and we were treated like family. Jenna was our waitress and she really hooked it up. Its a shame we couldnt tip any more than we did because she deserves a raise. The food is phenomenal, and good portions. Good music and good ambience. Will always be back.
It's exactly what you'd expect when you walk through the door... simple quality Italian favorites all done really well.
The salads were all original fresh and delicious. They do a pretty good brick oven style pizza, but all of their pastas are really where they shine. Think of classic vodka rigatoni or baked mostaccioli. Simple very casual vibe on both the bar and restaurant side. Great service also.
The place looks like where the local Italians would bring their families for a Sunday night dinner. Food is great but the Eggplant Parmigiana was way too salty I can't even eat it. Lamb was exceptionally good. For appetizers, the Fritti Calamari is highly recommended. The dip is yummy. And the pizza is delicious.
For drinks, Peroni is available both draft and in bottles. And, of course, they have a good selection of reds and whites.
Will be coming back to try the other selections on the menu.
This Italian restaurant truly impressed my friends and I. Came here on the recommendation of a co-worker with mixed opinions. Everything was amazing. I had the Gluten Free Mona Lisa Special. Delicious and perfectly baked. FYI, The Crème Brûlée is the best.
Wonderful little South Orange County secret. Five stars in every category except for the High noise levels. Unfortunately this is becoming more prevalent these days. For those of us who are hearing impaired it just makes everything more difficult. Excellent specialty cocktail menu. Outrageous cheesecake and lasagna. Try the chicken with the lemon capers sauce or the Ahi tuna plate. Scrumptious. Chicken Marsala is outstanding but uses the thicker white sauce.
What a little gem. Quite comfortable and cozy. The server, Amada, was as sweet and efficient as could be. Now - the food, excellent! We started with the sauteed mushroom appetizers. Entrees were lamb shank and manicotti, both are dishes we would return for. And we will return - with our dog. They are dog friendly!
Recently visited this Italian eatery on a late Sunday afternoon. I ordered a wedge salad, an "Antonucci's Special" Small sized pizza, and a Michelob Ultra bottled beer. Complimentary garlic bread is served to each patrons table. The pizza & salad tasted great! The pizza was significantly larger than I had thought for a small size. Server was friendly and attentive. The total tab with tax and tip was just a little over $38.
The best of the best! Delicious delicious food! The servers are the best! The portions are big, you won't be left hungry. Delicious for left overs as well. They take their time on the preparation and you can definitely taste it. Cole is the best! Thanks young man for making my day as well as your kindness and professionalism, we really appreciate it 🙏
